Question
My three-month-old baby has diarrhea today after mixed feeding. What’s going on? What should I do? It hasn’t happened before, what should I do?
Answer
A baby’s digestive system is not fully developed, so even slight dietary imbalances can easily lead to vomiting. You can give symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to help with digestion. Pay attention to eating small amounts frequently; eating too much can affect digestion. After the baby has a bowel movement, perform clockwise abdominal massage to effectively alleviate the symptoms. Since the baby is still young and their digestive system is not fully developed, it’s important to feed them easily digestible foods.
